Being virtuous is a reward in itself.

Before Jira or ServiceNow or any other tracking services, how were the tasks managed ?

[Gaurav @gcodes_29]

I've stopped worrying about things not in my control.

This cleared my brain.

I only worry about things I can control.

This cluttered my brain again.

@danwilliamsdtg Don't give examples of other people.

Give examples of yourself.

It could be that he quit writing and started something else.

You don't know.

So you should mind your own business I feel.

[Gaurav @gcodes_29]

@danwilliamsdtg Why are you being a hypocrite then ?

[Gaurav @gcodes_29]

You don't have to be good.

Forget about being great.

You just need to start and keep doing it over and over again.

It's guaranteed that you will improve.

Does your company have a mentorship program ?

If yes then what knowledge do you share with your mentees ?

Or what wisdom did you get from your mentors ?

Is it related to the tech / social skills that they need to network ?

What exactly do you mentor about in the SWE field ?

[Gaurav @gcodes_29]

@BulletproofGrit Aah! that one. I mean I am not saying it's wrong but it definitely might affect the relationship with peers.

[Gaurav @gcodes_29]

Do promotions in the SWE field depend on skills

Or

The number of years of experience

Or

The amount of contribution/ vision/ value you provide to the project ?

[Gaurav @gcodes_29]

@DreamDividend Absolutely !

I can take care of the inside.

I'm just more worried about the outside.

[Gaurav @gcodes_29]

Here's a simple hack to have a productive day:

Track the kind of activities you are doing every hour.

Analyse it.

You will understand what took your time.

Try to eliminate it in the next hours.

Do this obsessively.

If it wasn't for money, would you still be doing what you are doing right now ?

[Gaurav @gcodes_29]

Do you donate money ?

Or help people in unfortunate situations in any way ?

If yes then why ?

If no then why not ?

[Gaurav @gcodes_29]

Do you find X premium really worth it ?

[Gaurav @gcodes_29]

How many years of experience do you guys have in the SWE field ?

[Gaurav @gcodes_29]

@curius_coder Damn , that would be very harsh

[Gaurav @gcodes_29]

We have an intern who joined recently

He was hired to work majorly on the frontend with me

But his interest is in backend

I on boarded him wrt all the UI stuff he will be working on but he keeps asking for backend tasks/ backend related questions

How do I deal with this ?
